Dark Insight

An International Video Games Podcast

About the show

We're a video game podcast with hosts from all over the world. Started by Londoner Cliff Goldsmith in 2015, he quickly recruited VaderVanOdin from New Zealand to be his co-host, with Jeremy Greer (US) we then brought on josh Crow. Jg and Crowe have now left the team but we have bwade, Kassandra and Matt now as part of the full time line up. Each week we bring you a different line up of people, views, topics, and feedback from our listeners.

Welcome back to Dark Insight! Cliff is on holiday this week, so we invited friend of the show Kyle (aka Lurker Zero) to come onto the show. Kyle has recently retired from the Halo community, effectively shutting down his YouTube channel and giving up on the game. We discuss why in detail at the end of the episode, and also hear from our listeners about why they’ve given up on games.

A new episode is here! Just for you! This week we have the original trio back in the podcasting chairs and chatting about our favorite subject: vidja gamz. After a brief weather report, we talk about Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2, No Man’s Sky, Alone With You, Nioh, MGSV, Headlander, and tons more! Jeremy gets super negative about Nintendo (again), Vader joins Grindr (again), and Cliff keeps the rest of us in line with harsh disciplinary procedures. Enjoy!

It’s Saturday morning here in the US, so that means: another Dark Insight episode for YOU! This week Cliff is on vacation (or is he…) so Stephen from the Platformers podcast joins us to talk about games. And woah, did we talk about games. Topics include: Nintendo DX, No Man’s Sky, Hyper Light Drifter, MGSV, ALL of the Souls games (that’s right!), Hearthstone, Titanfall, Project Cars, Unravel, Telltale’s Batman, ABZU, Inside, Max and the Curse of the Brotherhood, and probably some that I’m forgetting. Jeremy talks about meeting internet people in the real world, Vader is really cold, and Stephen talks about how long games should be. PLUS! Listener emails. It’s a full episode this week ladies and skeletons, so sit back, relax, load up iTunes, leave us a review, and let the chat flow.

Hey folks! Episode 25 has been released. This week Cliff decides to stay at home and play his new Xbox One, so our good friend TheLoreHunter aka Sean joins us! We take full advantage of his lore skills with a full on Dark Souls 3 spoiler section! We talk about all sorts of end game and secret stuff, but don't worry, the section is clearly marked. Not content with just DS3 though, we also talk about a LOT of games: Pokemon Go, bad Lord of the Ring games, Furi, The Swindle, Star Wars Lego, Super Motherlode, Team Fortress 2, Sword Art Online, and probably some more that I'm forgetting. Plus! Vader still hates on Overwatch! But that's not all! We also discuss the weather, read listener questions, and Vader tries to convince everyone that anime is good.
